Shell-less crabs

One thing I'm looking foward to this year is coming out of my shell...hopefully at least a little bit. I'm naturally a very quiet and shy person. Part the June 30 / Cancer. Partly the last almost 30 years. (Which is a whole nother story I'm not really all that into getting into right now.) I do plan on working on my social skills. I hope that I make some new friends. I think I've forgotten how to make friends. Or its been so long since I've wanted to be out there in the real world that I don't know how to do it anymore. Do I say ... "Hi, my name is Melissa. Will you be my friend?" Probably won't be saying it exactly like that, but something similar I'm' sure. ; ) I want to have a couple of adventures which I'm totally on track for. Marathon? Check. Trapeeze school for a day? CHECK! I think that this running training program and my upcoming class will help me out a little in the world of being more social and comfortable. I totally already love my program. The coaches are awesome. Very encouraging you to meet your neighbor, introduce yourself to the person next to you you haven't met ... because for the next 21 weeks we're going to be going through some sheit. I've always wanted to be a little more outgoing. I think that it would help me out at work too. I'm getting more into the marketing/sales side of things. Which isn't something that I would have picked, but I am determined to make it work. Maybe I'll get good at it and can start talking to a boy. But that would just be a plus. Not a goal at all. This is the year of me : )
